My first Trash the Dress opportunity

I participated in a local meet-up for (Buffalo, NY) photographers who hosted a Trash the Dress session. About 20 photographers were involved along with the 2 models and a make-up person. I was very intimidated, but the pros really went out of their way to make a few of us newbies feel welcome. The models were pros and I noticed how they took great care to make eye contact with every photographer. Posted are some of the urban shots. There are more from the beach along Lake Erie. I'll post more of those later.

Any feedback is most welcome.

Thank you, Charlie...it was fun once I got used to it - once I started talking to photographers & when the models introduced themselves. The best part was when a pro came up to me and said "ask me anything you are wondering about cause I love talking about photos"

Icing on the cake is when I suggested to walk around to the other side of the wading pool to have the light at our back - 3 pros yelled "ya beat me to that Deb" Kinda made me feel like I knew something...just a stepping stone
